Went last week. It was extremely rainy in the early morning which was a huge kick-in-the-teeth overall. Several rides didn't open: Ricochet, Kiddy Hawk, Plants vs Zombies, SEVERAL flats. Nighthawk, Dodgems and other flats did not open until late in the day... seemed to be some staffing issues. The Plants vs Zombies one especially hurt as when it was pouring it would've been perfect.
That said, once the skies cleared I was able to knock out almost all the open coasters. Fury 325 was mindblowing and intense, far more than I was expecting. It makes a great companion to Intimidator, which is the airtime fun-filled B&M hyper experience that you usually get. Copperhead Strike, of course, is a knockout in terms of pure fun and themeing. It delivers some great launches and hang-time in the front, and gives a good Maverick-esque whip parade at the end. The queue, launch barn and other themeing elements are just a joy. What a win for the park.
Afterburn I did during a rain storm... not a great idea. It is a tight, intense invert... now, inverts in general aren't my favorite rides as they're a little heavily focused on the negative-Gs for most of its layout, but I appreciated Afterburn in giving a tightly packed performance that isn't merely a Batman clone.
California Cyclone is oddly similar to Canyon Blaster from my neck of the woods. It was fun having the final helix in a trench rather than a mountain, tho.
Carolina Goldrusher is a wonderfully maintained Arrow mine-train with some fun tunnels and isn't too rough like many others that I've ridden in the past.
Flying Cobras is a Vekoma boomerang with better restraints. Next.
Hurler is better than the reputation it has... barely. I rode in the front, and did some defensive manuevering, but overall this wasn't quite the horrific rough ride I was dreading. It has some nice kick and speed, but not much else.
Nighthawk was not open until late, but I got to ride it once it did. This is my first time doing one of these Vekoma flyers and I'm not a fan. The great thing about the B&M ones is that it keeps you in the flying position for the better part of the ride. These have you lying down which is uncomfortable as hell and then you barely get to experience the sensation, instead flipping around in inversions for the bulk of the layout. Two corkscrews? Why? Why not a helix instead, which would be far preferred. Meh not a fan
Finally, I got to ride Woodstock Express and god I love these John Allen kiddie woodies. They are so fun and charming, can't enough of them.
Didn't ride Vortex, I refuse to ride stand-up coasters. They just are not fun. Look forward to its inevitable floorless conversion.
Odds and ends: Boo Blasters I rode twice during rainstorms, the first one in the morning all effects were working... the second ZERO effects were working, ouch. Copperhead Strike had a train valley in the middle of the day, was down for a surprisingly short 45 minutes considering. Amazing recovery!
The park is lovely otherwise and has some of the best themeing in any Cedar Fair park that isn't Knott's. I adored Blue Ridge Junction, the Boardwalk area and County Fair, they blew me away.
Wish there wasn't a rainstorm that exhausted me, but it is what it is. Amazing collection of coasters!
